Thread: How do I copy a simple text-file to a new text-file?

Hi.

I'm trying to copy a simple text-file, to a new text-file, using BufferedReader and PrintWriter.

Can anyone please show me the correct way to use these methods together, and how to run throgh the file correctly?

Can I use both FileWriter and BefferedReader in the same try block? If so, how do I handle Exceptions?

Thank you in advance!

Any of the popular search engines will provide a wealth of code examples. What did you find?

Again for proper use of the methods you should get in the habit of consulting the documentation and a search engine first.

Try blocks can have multiple catch blocks.

Try {
   somethingRisky();
   doSomethingElseRisky();
   doTheThirdRiskyActivity();
}
catch(theFirstRisk tfr) {
   reportOops();
}
catch(theSecondRisk tsr) {
   reportOops();
}
catch(theThirdRisk ttr) {
   reportOops();
}
